Outside Dique Pass, Hu Le released an avatar to chase after Di Jun, while his true self continued to fight Houtu Niangniang.
Previously, even when Houtu Niangniang and three others joined forces to attack Hu Le, they were no match for him. In just a few moves, Hu Le swiftly dealt with the other three.
Now only Houtu Niangniang remains, and she is injured. How much trouble can she stir up now?
After exchanging only a few blows, Hu Le activated the Chaos Bell, freezing the space-time around Houtu Niangniang. Taking advantage of the moment when her movements slowed down, he swung his bamboo staff and struck Houtu Niangniang in the back of the heart.
Houtu Niangniang let out a muffled groan, took a few steps forward but tripped and fell, rolling around on the ground a few times before finally getting up.
In other words, her physical body was formed from the essence of the Great Dao and the thick earth, making it extremely powerful.
Otherwise, if someone else were hit by this stick, it wouldn't be as simple as just falling down.
Even so, Houtu Niangniang was extremely ashamed and indignant.
Since her birth, she has experienced countless battles and has been defeated before, but no matter how badly she was defeated, she has never been as humiliated as she is today.
But she also knew that in her current state, it was impossible for her to take revenge.
So, without waiting for Hu Le to catch up, she got up, stomped her feet on the ground, and her whole body turned into a streak of earthy yellow light and disappeared underground.
Upon seeing this, Hu Le quickly raised his hand and pointed, and a golden light flashed on the ground.
This light is a manifestation of the technique of turning the earth into steel.
As the light shone, it settled the land within a radius of several miles.
Unexpectedly, Houtu Niangniang's earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic that can be used to escape into the ground) technique had already reached its peak. After escaping underground, she had already traveled hundreds of miles away in just one breath.
His technique of turning the earth into steel naturally failed to trap the Goddess Houtu.
Hu Le shook his head upon seeing this, knowing that Houtu Niangniang was still not out of her lifespan, and did not pursue her, waving his hand to dispel his supernatural powers.
He stood still, looked around, and saw that the gods and immortals were still fiercely fighting.
He took a step and suddenly found himself in front of a battlefield.
At this moment, the Kunpeng Ancestor was engaged in a magical duel with his disciple, Guankong.
Guan Kong stood on a twelve-petaled lotus platform, surrounded by white light, protecting himself completely. At the same time, he summoned several innate spiritual treasures and continuously attacked Kunpeng Ancestor.
Despite his cultivation being superior to Guan Kong's, the Kunpeng Ancestor could only dodge in a sorry state under the attack of a group of innate spiritual treasures.
When Kunpeng Ancestor caught a glimpse of Hu Le approaching out of the corner of his eye, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
He was also someone who knew when to advance and retreat, so he immediately abandoned his entanglement with Guan Kong and transformed into a wisp of breeze, flying away into the sky.
Hu Lepian pointed his finger, and immediately summoned a bolt of divine lightning that struck the gentle breeze.
With a loud bang.
The lightning exploded, and even the gentle breeze that Kunpeng Ancestor had transformed into was blasted away, forcing him to reveal himself.
Having been struck by the Heavenly Thunder, half of his body was now charred black, and he was completely paralyzed and unconscious.
However, he still managed to muster a sliver of magical power and leaped towards the Northern Sea.
However, just as he flew a hundred miles, two auspicious clouds suddenly drifted down from the heavens.
He looked up and, upon seeing a person on the cloud, was terrified.
It turns out that these two were the Dao Fruit incarnations of Xihe and Hule, who had returned from the Sun Palace.
Hu Le's Dao Fruit incarnation also saw the Kunpeng Ancestor at this moment, and immediately sneered, "Hehe... what a coincidence!"
In the midst of laughter and conversation, he tossed the Star Sword in his hand.
The Starry Sky Sword instantly transformed into a cold glint, catching up with the Kunpeng Ancestor in a flash and circling him gently once.
"ah……"
With a scream, blood burst forth, and the Kunpeng Ancestor was cut in two at the waist.
The Kunpeng Ancestor hurriedly escaped, his primordial spirit wrapped up his remaining body, and continued to flee towards the northern horizon. In a flash, his figure disappeared into the horizon.
"What a Kunpeng! It knows how to escape!"
Hu Le's Dao Fruit avatar chuckled softly, sheathed the Starry Sky Sword, and did not continue the pursuit.
He was merely a demon master, unlike the Demon Emperor Jun, who held little power among the demon race and whose escape was of little importance to the overall situation...
The two quickly found Hu Le. The Dao Fruit incarnation simply bowed to Hu Le before re-entering Hu Le's body.
Xihe also hurriedly stepped forward to greet Hu Le in person.
At the same time, Guan Kong also came to pay his respects.
Hu Le nodded slightly to the two of them, "You two come with me."
As he spoke, he led the two to the nearest battlefield, where they saw a demon saint fighting with an elder of the human race not far away.
Hu Le didn't actually use it; instead, he activated the Chaos Bell above his head with a thought.
With a clang.
As the deep sound of the bell rang out, the demon saint was struck by the sound, his mind trembled, and his body stiffened for a moment.
But his opponent immediately saw an opportunity and slashed down with his sword, splitting him in two.
The demon saint hurriedly released his primordial spirit and soared towards the heavens.
"Heh... You still want to escape?!"
Guan Kong chuckled, and with a light flick of her jade hand, the Dragon and Tiger Ruyi Scissors flew out from her sleeve, catching up with the primordial spirit in just a few breaths.
"ah……"
After a piercing scream, the Dragon Tiger Ruyi Scissors flew back and disappeared back into her sleeve.
Upon seeing this, the elder bowed to Hu Le and the others, then rode his escape light toward the battlefield to the side, seemingly to support his other companions.
Hu Le and his two companions traveled through the battlefield in this way. Wherever they went, Hu Le simply rang the Chaos Bell, and one by one, demon saints or allied elders and priests died on the spot.
Just then, the Primordial Daoist flew in from the horizon and appeared in front of Hu Le in a flash.
"Fellow Daoist, how is it?" Hu Le asked with a smile.
“His fate is not yet over; this is not the time for him to perish,” Yuanshi shook his head and said.
Hu Le nodded upon hearing this.
It's likely that the Demon Lord, who was relentlessly pursued by the Primordial Daoist, is not in a good state even if he hasn't died yet.
After Yuanshi Daoren returned, Zhunti Daoren also returned almost simultaneously, riding on auspicious clouds.
After the three met, they exchanged greetings.
Hu Le thanked the Taoist Zhunti for his hard work.
Zhunti Daoist smiled and waved his hand, saying that it was just a matter of controlling the Styx Ancestor, a piece of cake, and there was no need to talk about the hardship.
And so, the three walked side by side on the battlefield, with Guan Kong and Xi He lagging behind, respectfully following behind them step by step.
At each battlefield he passed, Hu Le still rang the Chaos Bell.
However, it was Yuanshi and Zhunti who took action instead.
Regardless of whether the other party is a demon saint or a human elder, a demon god or a priest, or even a demon lord descending to earth or an Asura king.
Hu Le only needed to ring the Chaos Bell to freeze them in place.
The Taoist Primordial then unleashed the Three Treasures Ruyi, smashing their brains apart one by one.
The Taoist Zhunti, however, was compassionate. He simply raised the Seven Treasures Tree to sweep them away, intending to take them back to Mount Sumeru for some spiritual guidance...
